To all whom it may concern:

Be-it known that l, PERRY A. i\[cCAsi nv. u'citizcn of the UnitedStates, residing at Alliance, in the county of Stark and State of Ohio,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Duplicating-Padsand Holders; and I do declare the following to he :1 full, clear, andexact description or the invention. rclcrcnic being had. to theaccompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of referencemarked thereon. whi h form a part of this specification.

This invention has reference to pods or books of hill slips intended tobe made in duplicate by the carhon o 1' similar duplicating process, theinvention havingrcfcrence particularly to holders for the pads, andholdcrs I for carbon sheets and stop cards to he used with the. podsnndtheir holders, which may be required in the duplicating process.

Objects of the invention urcto provide it holdpro! (use for bill padsand it simple form of holder for :1 carbon sheet or a. slop card so thatthe carbon sln-cl' or sl p curd may be used witlrvnriou; ylcs of pads:on olijor'l being to provide it holder adapted to receive various kindof pads, so that the permanent covers with which hi ll pods are usuallyprovided, may he dispcnsmll wilh, thus cheapening the cost of produclionof the hill slips.

A still further object is to provid :1 mrlion shecl n nd holder to heused indefinitely until worn out, thus cf- 5 Referring to the drawingsFigure l is a pi-r -pm-livc view showing the inveullon suhslmitmlly Us(rilifill'llf' Q ed with a. cover extending over th hill pawl: lperspective View with the cover opened; l ig spective View of gtmodified form of pud holder will: Which the carbon sheet holder isconnccliml; Fig. 4, ii. transverse sectional view taken through the paidin Fig. 2; Fig. 5. a longitudinal sectimuil vi w of Fig. 2: Fig. (i. o.fragmentary.perspective view showing 1r modified construction of the padl10ldcr;'Fig. 7, 1i pcrspwiivc View of pad of modified form arranged ina holder; Fig.

Similar reference characters in thesevoizil figures oi the drawingsdesignate corresponding, elements or features of construction.

The present invention is associated with a credit system which requiresthat with ouch stile of merchandise the incrcluint shall make out a.hill of goods and simulluncously a dupliculc thereof, one being given tothe purchaser and the other retuincd by the merchant to conslitute hisThe bill slips are pcriorzilcd and hound in pads or hooks from which theslips :u'c l'crnovcd when required for use. Various types of pads ho w lcen employed, three of the favorite types being illusiriiled hereineither one of which may be, used in connection with the presentinvention, as will further :ippcur.

The improved pad holder, in-its preferred form as shown in Figs. 1, 2,l, 5 and 9, comprises a rectangular hack 'nle (I. preferably composed ofsuitnhle moul, and having; u head-piece b provided with an integrallingcr'piccc c and (L clump-bur (I, the latter formed inlcgrrnl with lhclingcr-picco. for clamping a pad and ii rznlmn-shect holder on the backplate a, the headpiece 1) living connected lo the plate u by hinge e andprovirlcrl with u spring-f for forcing the clump-bar tightly upon thepzid. this construction being designed to acconunodzuc pads of(llllQllETlh thickness.

The holder may or may not he provided with 3 cover .lor the pad, thecover being desirable when the pads he carried in the pockets ofsolicitors to the houses of lhe customers, or to he us d as platesbetween slips when backs of hill slips are c-.u'honizcd, hut when thepuds and curhori sheets are used exclusively inthc slori-s, the coversnuiy be dispensed with. When n.

uillic cover is desired. the back plate a is provided at iis lower cud.or end opposite to the headpiece, with nlohwo g by which iii'or.ii-picec k is connected to the lunch plane. und a hinge 1' cmnicctsu. covcrj with the fooepic 'c Also the hock plate a is provided with in:its lower cod r cer the hinge g to assist in bolding 2 pad on ihe h;ii-ate. The hinge g incidentally guidv o the hottou'i of the hr-icl-Lplate a, heluff zu'runucd tho requisite distance from the head piece I.-\o receive the shuuhird me of pad. The cover has clips mad or formed atopposite ends thereof to hold a sheet of paper or card 1'1 which inay heuscd for such records -is may he desired. by turning over portions of.the phi! es.

A modiliczil ion of the holder is shown in Figs. 3, Tend 8 in which 21ouch philc a is employed [hut has a vertithe plate a may obviously hevariously formed to as The clips 1;, Z m are formed sist in holding thepad of bill slips. in Fig. 6, a back plate 11 having a clip is turnedover at an end thereof to hold the back board of the pad.

In Figs. 1, 2, 4 and 5, a simple form of pad shown in connection withthe improved pad holder. 0 designating the uppermost bill slip of, thepad, all of the slips being perforated at 7;, near the head of the pad.slips are all alike (except as to proprietary advertising matter,) andmay be torn separately from the binding stubs at the head of the pad.The carbon sheet is to be inserted under each original bill slip inorder to make a duplicate of the bill on an adjacent slip, but there areno carbon sheets bound in the pad. such expense being avoided in thepresent invention.

A carbon sheet holder (1 is provided which is rectangular in plan andextends from the head piece I; to the foot end of the back plate a. soas to bear against the parts ofthe hinge 9, under the clip k. The carbonsheet 7' is somewhat shorter than the holder q, and is securedpreferably by stitching to one of the longer sides of the holder q Withits ends somewhat remote from the ends of the holder, and the carbonsheet is folded up over the top of the pad so as to lie upon theuppermost slip o as in Figs. 1, 2, 4 and 5. without covering the upperand lower ends of the slip, thus leaving the lower end of the slip freeto be accessible to lift it and draw itv from under the carbon sheet, sothat it may be placed upon the carbon sheet before making the entries onthe slips, the carbon sheet being suilicicntly large so as to cover theportions of the slip that areintendod iobc written upon. By thisarrangement it will be unnecessary to finger the carbon sheet in makingthe entrles. and ai'tcr the entries are made the slips may be readilytorn away from the stubs from under the carbon sheet.

In the more simple form of pad holder the foot end of the back plate ais turned up and forms a foot piece 8, which serves as a guide for thecarbon sheet holder. in some cases the holder is provided with an outercovering 15, and the foot end of the holder is provided with a plaincover it connected by a flexible hinging strip i to the covering 6.

In Fig. 7, a different style of pad is shown of which each pair ofleaves is formed of a single sheet of paper folded over to form twoleaves. one leaf 11' being bound at the head of the bill and perforatedat a. while the other leaf 'u/ is not attached to the head of the pad.but is attached to the leaf u: at the loot end :t' at a line ofperforations, and the folded ends are accessible so that the two slipsmay be torn away from under the carbon sheet r. The head end of the slip11; isaccessible so that it maybe lifted and drawn from ttnderthe carbonsheet. so as to be placed thereon in order to make the desired entrieson the bill slips.

In Fig. 8. still another style of pad is illustrated, each two sheetsyand 2 being bound in the pad at their head ends and perforated at z. thetwo slips or leaves being formed of a single sheet folded over andperforated at 2. In this pad each original bill slip i has carbon pullsback so that a stop card or plate is required to be placed undertheduplicate slip y. so as to prevent transferring onto the other slips inthe pad. For the at commodation of this pad a stop card I" is attachedto the holdcr q. in lieu of thc carbt n sheet 1'. the stop card being ofthe same dimensions in plan as the carbon The sheet above described, sothat the ends at 2 oi the snps may be accessible to lift them in orderto pla e them upon the stop card which in use will lie under theduplicate slip y.

It will be seen from the foregoing that while the tastes or desires ofthe merchant may be gratified in the matterof styleof pad, the costoithe paosrnay be materially reduced by leaving oil the permanent coverand if desired also the back board heretofore supplied, and but a few ofthe improved universal pad holders may be needed. each holder capable ofaccommodating either style of pad. and as will be seen the carbon sheetsare designed so as to be adapted for use with either style of pad. Eachcarbon sheet may be used with different pads until entirely worn out,and need not be thrown away it still serviceable when the slips of a padhave all been used.

The manner of using the holders and transfer sheets will be fullyunderstood from the foregoing description without further detail.
